I assume you mean free or almost free mods

remove the intake resonator box
remove the lower airbox
DIY home depot intake
weight removal
throttle body coolant bypass
indexing the spark plugs
advance timing

Jus about anything that heads u into making the car "better" will help...

How about jus using premium fuel all the time?... pull the A/C out for weight reduction... TE37s on ur tires would be nice... NitrousOxide?...

It dosn't really help unless you advance your timming, are spraying, or are boosted.
